Hello Steemit Community, Good Morning, Good Evening, Good Day, Good Night
Well...... How to start?
Background
This is my 2nd/3rd attempt to introduce myself. The other attempts were marked by @steemcleaners as I did not declare which photographs have been taken by me and which are taken by others. Well, it is easy to mark/downvote someone, it make takes a second (or less) to do it. But it takes lot lot lot of time to recover back from marking. Sometimes, I think, it may become impossible to recover back.
Well, I decided, to re-write my introduction post as you can not read my previous introduction. First of all I want to say that I'm honored to be here and to join steemit. I am excited to have this opportunity to communicate with you.
I am thankful to all Steemit developers, users, investors, and all other stakeholders (including @steemcleaners) to build this great platform on the blockchain to help bring the world together.
My family members introduced me to Steemit. We are a big family and several of us have steemit account, though we all are new to steemit. Some of my friends and family members are still waiting for steemit accounts.
Tradeoff for Anonymization (Privacy)
In some cultures women are not willing to show pictures and they do hijab, nikab, etc. I assume @steemcleaners is aware of this. Moreover there is an EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) that gives right to remain anonymous to EU citizens. Though I believe, in true sense, anonymization/randomization does not exist and there is always some trade off that has to be made. Based on
Before I upload pictures below, I want to state that (for @steemcleaners) that these pictures are taken by me. in a family trip. Some of these have been published in other social media sites. These are also auto-uploaded from steemit to Twitter and Facebook. These are not spam, so please do not mark them.
We are originally from north of Pakistan. The Gilgit-Baltistan (so called The Jewel of Pakistan) is one of the most beautiful land in the earth. It is located at the northernmost administrative territory in Pakistan.
NOTE:
(for @steemcleaners) The pictures below, from north of Pakistan, is NOT (I repeat is NOT) taken by us. These are public pictures from the northernmost administrative territory in Pakistan. Some of these has been published in other social media sites. These are not spam, so please do not mark them.
The pictures above and below (from north of Pakistan) provides some level of understanding about me, my culture, environment, geo-polictical conditions and background.
These pictures are integral part of me. But they are NOT taken by me. I hope I am explicit enough to state what is taken by me and what not.

Though I consider myself a global citizen and has no boundary as well as limitation of space. I believe that whole universe be without man-made boarders.
Let's be good friends and have great time here at Steemit. Let's enjoy bogging, social networking and earn respect from each other.
Welcome to the wonder world of Gilgit-Baltistan (The Jewel of Pakistan). This video is a good introduction of that part of the world. Again, it is not made by me. It is a public video at youtube.

Hello Sams, Two things prompt me to do this reply, my first entry into steemit. First I wanted to say I nearly went to Pakistan a few years ago. We were going to install a wind turbine to help a squatter community become settled. It was in the south near the coast, not in the high north. I understand it gets incredibly hot there and I don't handle the heat so well. The north looks more welcoming.
Second I wanted to suggest that if you want to reuse a photo (legitimately of course) you could load it into a free editor like Gimp or Inkscape and make a small change to it. That should stop the automatic search function from flagging it as a copy. I am new to steemit so I may be wrong, but worth a try.
OK. Thanks. I will try...
Hi @sams welcome to steemit , i have already followed you.
Hoping to see your articles soon.
Best regards,
@robin-ho
I desperately want to visit this place on the futur inshallah. Visiting beautiful landscapes and exploring archaeology is an adventure for me
